How to tell if your throttle cable is loose?

[Tubz1983]

Tell tale signs of loose throttle cable ?
How should the throttle twist feel? Should there be any real play on the twist grip between throttle opening ?

No more than a couple of mm twisting the throttle before the cable starts to do anything.

I would just look at where the cables attach to the top of the carbs. You will be able to feel any slack in the cable with your fingers and can adjust it there accordingly.

Just make sure the carb is completely shut when off the throttle, and if you make them too tight the throttle won't return.

You can probably get to the adjusters with the tank off and by displacing the bracket where the coils and fuel pump are attached.
It is a bit of a faff.

Ok so I think I need to adjust mine, way too much free play...
